Abstract

Single-case experimental designs were used to evaluate behavioral and pharmacological treatments in obsessive-compulsive disorders. Four patients were treated in variants of the ABAB withdrawal design using behavioral and self-report data as dependent variables. Three of the four patients responded to behavioral or pharmacological treatment, whereas one patient responded to neither intervention. © 1980 by The Williams & Wilkins Co.
